Being mindful of personal space online
Personal Space & Social Media. Being mindful of your personal space, especially when it comes to social media is key to balancing times of rest. It can become a difficult and discouraging situation, if your only personal connections are the same as your work connections. You can still be friends and work together comfortably without being locked into a social media space. It’s okay. Setting boundaries. For those who make a living as social media content creators, hold 2nd & 3rd jobs in hybrid, remote, or in office – you understand “mindset & personal space”. t’s not a juggling act, it’s survival. People make a good living being creators, and…

The year is 1982, and my little family was green before green was cool
The year is 1982, and my little family was green before green was cool. Fast-forward to today, I wonder if our ideas and what we learned in the early 80’s could outlast the years. I thought so. If nothing else, it would get those creative juices flowing for those who like to tinker with new ideas. We were green before green was cool. We were green before green was cool. As I have aged, I’ve been judged for a lot of things – one being that I’m not an environmentalist. I think too “locally” to ever be a true environmentalist. I’m too old school. That term environmentalist (or conservationist) unfortunately, has been…

A Gentleman’s Agreement – What ever happened to the term
What Ever Happened to the term A Gentleman’s Agreement HONOR What ever happened to the term “A Gentleman’s Agreement”? There was a day when men shook hands and agreed a gentlemen’s agreement between two. A man’s word was his honor.

What’s on Your Bucket List? Any Chalk, a Plant, Crazy Glue, Birdseed?
Watching the grandchild learning a new word and then trying to put meaning to that word was an experience that left me wondering. How fast our minds rationalize thoughts, and place information into neat little containers of knowledge, is a miracle in and of itself. Have you ever thought about a thought? Explain a thought to a 6 year old. I dare you. I double dare you. Have you ever thought about a thought? As we grow older being told something isn’t right, or learning we will have to do something differently isn’t generally what we want to hear. Change sucks. I know many of us have gotten so busy…

Change how you think – and you will change your life
By nature, you are happy, caring, respectful, and have a deep appreciation for those around you. You are a good person. Yet some days you feel like “meh“. It’s a jolt to your happy-go-lucky self, to have to put up with other people who don’t feel good about themselves; or anything in general. In fact, they feel so bad about themselves and their plight in society, that they want to make everyone around them feel just as miserable. They like to control, their bossy, whiny, vindictive, and they want to be YOUR friend. Don’t pay the ransom – I escaped! I escaped from the “meh” mindset – and so can…
